I have successfully treated more than one child with this problem by having their father take them out in the woods and lighting wooden matched until the kid tires of it.

With careful supervision of course. Encourage the child to light more, even after he says enough. This method could be called flooding. Some kids will lose their fascination with fire with this technique.
